 ActiveX document vs ASP app

OK....as is probably obvious, I'm new to web development and am looking for
advice:

If I want to use ActiveX Controls(eg, calendar control) in a web app, should
I just develop a regular VB app and then convert it to an ActiveX Document?
OR, is there an advantage to going with ASP from the ground up (of course,
I'm assuming that I can use these controls with ASP...I hope that's the
case)?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice offered!

You create an ActiveX OCX (not a regular VB project).  Then, you can use it
in ASP, VB, PERL or whatever.

Your activex controls don't need ASP.  They can be inserted directly into an
html document.  WHen you build your activex control, use the Package and
Depoyment wizard to create and INTERNET PACKAGE.  This will create a cab
file with your control, and an Html page with the activex control imbedded.
You can then modify this html file in your favorit editor, and you will be
in business.
